Is buying and selling impermissible if conducted via a check from a usurious bank due to the unavailability of an Islamic bank? Is the intermediary considered a usurer for facilitating this sale? Is it permissible to receive the commission via a check from a usurious bank, or must it be received in cash?

Dealing by way of selling, buying, or mediating with someone who deposits their money in usurious banks is permissible. The one who deals with them is not considered a usurer, and there is no harm in receiving a commission by a check from a usurious bank.
